I stayed for 2 nights with my husband for Xmas Eve & Xmas Day. The room was large and ideally located with a sea view.

The staff were friendly and helpful. We loved the pool and the breakfast was great. The standout feature I think was the location...literally on the beach. The sunset was beautiful. We would definately go there again. 10/10

Good value accommodation for daily,weekly or monthly stays,hotel was clean and well maintained,staff were cheerful,owner introduced himself with a smile and was helpful,location is not to far from entertainment but far enough,could maybe do with some western tv channels other than that no complaints,will be staying again

Rayong is despite their reputation as an industrial city, a city that has much to offer tourist. Here you can stay at beaches, without beeing overrun by beach salesmen, family friendly beaches to the east in direction Ban Phe, and offers a lot of local markets, shopping centres and good local food.

If you want high party factor with drinks and bar girls this is not the place. Some mean of own transportation will enhance the experience, cause there are many nice things and beaches to see and enjoy a little bit out of the city. Car or motorbike is nice to have.

City by the sea - with tons of fresh seafoods and boat trips to many islands. Just only 2.5 hours drive from Bangkok, Rayong is very much less crowded than Pattaya, which locates only 30 minutes drive away.

If you prefer quiet and more beautiful beaches and not much with the night activities, pick Rayong for your romantic destination.

Went here for a family funeral, would i return? NO, nothing much to see or do, one large shopping center and thats it really! Having been to Pataya and Bangkok, unless you had to come here then don't, hot, humid and dull, transport is hit and miss and thats it really!

Rayong is calm city, better than Pattaya. If you are looking for night life, do not recommend. If u are looking for nice, calm and fun with nature.

City is quite spread out with the beach areas and the inner city. Seafood is incredibly fresh and cooked very good in the seafood restaurant but not at the beach.

I went to eat at Laem Cha Reon Seafood restaurant in Pak Nam subdistrict. Laem Cha Reon seafood restaurant has a very good selection of fresh seafood and all are cooked perfectly and very delicious. The price is also quite cheap as compared to other cities in-fact it is very cheap.
Rayong City is also famous for the King of fruit the Durian. It is now in season and sold just about every road side. It is probably the best tasting Mon tong I have ever tried so far in Thailand. And Mon tong is not the best one, the other variety is called KanYao supposedly even more tastier than Mon Tong but it wasn't ripe yet.

More about Rayong

Rayong is a popular weekend destination on the Gulf of Thailand within easy reach of Bangkok. It's a popular destination for local and international travelers, as it’s only a three-hour drive from the capital and makes a great weekend destination. The province is dotted with beaches that are ideal for anyone looking for a quiet getaway and while Rayong includes a number of resort islands, the main destination along the mainland is Rayong Town.

The best accommodations in Rayong Town can be found along the beach, with more than a dozen white-sand beaches that enjoy great year-round weather. Hotel vacancies are hard to come by on weekends and during Thai holidays, when international and domestic tourists flood the area looking for fun on the beach.

Another popular retreat in the province is Khao Wong National Park, which is famous for its unique terrain of limestone bluffs and caves. Most visit the park on a day trip and explore the scenery, but it's also possible to rent bungalows or even campsites inside the park.

Anyone in search of an authentic Thai fishing village will find exactly what they're looking for at Ban Phe. It's situated on a cape close to Rayong town, and while it does offer a candid experience off the tourist trail, finding accommodation is more of a challenge. If hotels in Ban Phe are all booked up, it's still possible to visit on a daytrip form the coastal hotels near Rayong town.

While Utapao International Airport is the closest facility, it mainly operates domestic routes. However, travelers will have no problem chartering minivans or even taxis from Bangkok.
